Sometimes noone can hear me with Wifi calling - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just switched to T-Mobile with a Note 4 and their Wifi CellSpot Router, and previously Wifi calling worked fine on my Sprint Note 3 with a Cisco router. It comes and goes, but lately on most calls I can hear the other party fine, but they can't hear me. The only thing that fixes it is to turn off Wifi Calling.
I average 2-3 bars of 4G LTE in my apartment and have tried with/without my Bluetooth headset, on 2.4 and 5.0 GHz, rebooted my phone and router, but nothing fixes it for good. Does anyone have any ideas or know the fix?

I've had the same problem since day 1. Got so frustrating I just keep wifi calling off but I would love to hear of a fix too.

I've been with T-Mobile a total of 11 days and I've had the same problem on every rom that I've tried (Dyanmic Kat, FireKat, SkyFall, Stock Root). It works sporadically on every rom. I just turn it off. I'm very interested to know too. Clean installed every rom as well.

Did it ever work?what about in stock?If it never worked call tmobile or for go to store and tell them ur wifi calling isn't working that u need to set up your 911 address.If u never put an address wificalling will never work.I believe u could do it ur self online in ur tmobile.com account

It works sporadically, whenever it feels like working. Worked sporadically on stock as well. I have never put in an address. I will go take a look in my account online. Thanks hopefully this works.
Edit: Turns out I do have the e911 address filled out.

Yea set the 911 address or call if u don't know how

Of course it won't work at all with setting the E-911 address. This thread isn't about it not working at all, but about working inconsistently.
It is very frustrating that as much as T-Mobile pushes this, it works so poorly. As I said in my OP, I never had a problem with Wifi calling on Sprint.

Did you even read my OP? "I just switched to T-Mobile with a Note 4 and their Wifi CellSpot Router". I'm just trying to get T-Mobile's Wifi calling to work as well and consistently as it did when I was with Sprint.
I do find it odd that with T-Mobile, I only entered my home address for E-911 and it semi-works on every Wifi. With Sprint I had to enter the current address for each separate Wifi spot, which makes more sense to me. I just spent two weeks in New England, so how would my Texas E-911 address help emergency personnel if I had to call them from up there?!?

No that means Texas emergency units will go to Texas if u put wherever u at their emergency state will come.Also if that didn't work try removing Sim card and reinsert in it while and reboot

I don't see any option to change the E-911 address once it's been entered, do you? With Sprint I was forced to enter the address of the new hotspot I was connecting to, or Wifi calling wouldn't turn on.

Thanks raw, that's how I set up my home E-911 but it's very crude compared to how Sprint does it. Sprint uses the GPS to locate you, and then you can accept or edit the address of where it thinks you are. Once done, it remembered that address for every time I used that Wifi again. I can't imagine having to find out what my address is, logging into my account, and manually entering that into my current E-911 address every time I switch to a previously used Wifi.
Hopefully, if I ever have to use it, I will know where I am and be lucid enough to be able to tell the 911 operator how to find me. (Sorry for the rant, I'm in my 60s and worry about these things more as I get older.)

Np hope it works 4 ya

This might be my problem. My Time Warner home Internet speed is 15Mb/sec down and 1Mb/sec up. I think I read that T-Mobile recommends at least 2Mb/sec upload speeds for Wifi calling.
Even though my previous Sprint Wifi calling worked fine at these speeds, does anyone else with the same problem also have slow Internet upload speeds? I hate to spend another $10/month to upgrade my home Internet if I don't have to.

No I have 50Mbs down/10Mbs up and I have the same prob. I can hear them fine but 9 times out of 10 the caller can't hear me.

I would assume that maybe u guys are too far from router since it uses wifi if u go to far u lose wificalling

I do believe this to be a T Mobile issue. I am on rooted Stock Rom and I have seen it on the Note 3 and the Note 4. I just turn Wifi off and then back on if that happens. That usually fixes it. Not a good fix but hey better than nothing.

so for apparently no reason today my internet stopped connecting. When I go to connect it says -
Dialed: wap.cingular
it says underneath it there is no modem at the above number.
ummm.... I didn't change anything in my setting but for some reason it won't connect to the 3G network. Any ideas here or do we know whats going on?
thanks for the help.

OK check this
START/SETTING/CONNECTIONS/MANAGE EXISTING CONNECTIONS/PROXY SETTINGS
and make sure that there is not a Check in the box next to :
THIS NETWORK USES A PROXY SERVER TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET
This should do the trick I hope.
This always happens to me.
didnt work
no dice. its still giving me the same bounce back message that theres no modem at the above number. do i need to put a proxy server in the proxy server field? by the way this is a Tilt.
What program is trying to access the internet when this happens?
The same problem is occuring for me. I tried what Vol22002 suggested, but still can't connect. I was trying to access Internet Explorer.
Me Too - Atlanta
First thing this morning I tried to access the Internet with Opera and got the "Dialed: wap.cingular Cannot connect for unknown reason. ..." error. No recent changes to phone configs or software, worked fine after midnight last night. Power cycled and checked the usual stuff, still no data connection regardless of program.
Not Me Too Anymore - Atlanta
After not working from 0700 to 1050, I 'suddenly' have a working data connection. Go figure.
You'll probably find that this happens when your network is down. This happens very occasionally here and then I call my service provider to confirm this.

I've been having problems with my data connection and phone service dropping out for the last 2 weeks even though I have changed nothing on the phone. I see an x by data connection and exclamation point by phone. I'm using Dutty's 6.1 official release and radio 1.58.26.20. Usually I can get back service by turning on and off airport mode, and the problem is very sporadic. Usually only when I really need the phone to work! Sometimes just switching between GSM and Auto mode for 3G will provide a temporary fix. I just tried disabling the HSDPA, and we'll see if that helps in a more permanent way. I wonder if AT&T is kicking people off of its network that are using HSDPA before it is supposed to be available. I called AT&T about the issue (w/o mentioning the cooked ROMs or HSDPA and they say I should return the phone for warranty but I don't want the hassle of restoring the old ROM. Any ideas?
is everyone posting here with issues from ATL? I am and have had the same, figured its just a radio issue and have been too lazy to change radios...for those that aren't lazy, i'd try that...
nope, I'm in Oregon. I'm of the opinion that AT&T has changed something about how they run their phone and data networks (perhaps in preparation for the 2nd gen iphone and HSDPA) that is randomly kicking people off their network.

There goes the iPhone messing with Smartphones again. First changes what a Smartphone should be. NOW messing with the network. Hulk Mad!
Nope its not just AT&T im experiencing the same problem over in the UK. Now my proxy is disabled and I know I have all the correct settings but still the error message "unable to connect to the receiving modem." It seems to have no pattern for this happening con we get correlation on what ROM's & radios everyone are using to see if its that

EDGE/GPRS/3G Questions/Issues/Info

This might be a silly question, but does anyone know if the G1 will be able to access the web if you live in an area where 3G is not available yet? I live north of Los Angeles (who has 3G) in Bakersfield and we don't have it yet. I am hoping that I was not an idiot to preorder the phone and then not be able to use all the cool web features.
Thanks in advance,
Jamie
it should still work on the EDGE network
From my understanding it will work with GPRS, Edge, and 3g so you shouldn't have any problems bro by the way I understand the concern.
With a 1150ma battery, GPS, "big" screen etc, 3G will just drain the battery even quicker.
I will not worry about 3G until an extended battery is released- and the fact that 3G will not be in my market for a year of so.

Hey guys i have a htc wing now, and it does not have a gps. It looks like the gps for this phone is one of the main highlights, because it uses it for a lot of applications. Does anyone know what the gps strength will be like? Will it work will in a building, it do i have the be in direct light for like ten minuites to get a signal?
Anyone with a htc device with a gps already, does it work well?
I hear the android is a-gps, so mabye it will have the ability to somewhat work well when in a pocket, or building.....

Time for a lesson on GPS... It uses satellites in the sky, and you need a view of a certain amount of satellites to find your location (4 will find you but not very accurately, the more the better). If you're in a building, and not right next to a window, no GPS will ever find your location, ever. That's like asking if your internet will work if the ethernet cable is unplugged from the back of your computer and you don't have wifi, it goes against the entire idea of how it functions.
Now, as for the quality of the HTC GPS receiver... People have complained about GPS lag, but I maintain my opinion that it's completely software related, my Fuze had none whatsoever. You don't need to be in sunlight, just have enough clear sky that it can get a reading from the satellites. I've taken trips with the Fuze even on very cloudy days and it took a little longer to get a lock (5-10 mins, it locks in like 30 seconds to a minute with clear skies) but once it had my position, it stayed true. All of the upcoming HTC devices use A-GPS, by the way. Diamond, Touch Pro, Xperia, G1...

He's using the battery draining as an excuse, something to keep him from pulling his hair out because he won't have 3G for another year. Anyone who's used a phone for data features on both networks knows EDGE doesn't hold a candle to 3G.
As for the original post, yes, it will give you all of the same data features on EDGE as on 3G.
The big thing with A-GPS is that it's mainly used to increase the startup speed of your GPS. Instead of waiting 10 minutes to download the almanac of the satellites in the sky from the GPS sats, it downloads the data over your data connection, using the basis of which cell site you're connected to for determining your rough location. This way it only takes about 30 seconds to get a fix instead of much longer.
The sensitivity of the GPS on phones has been fairly good as far as i've seen on devices like the Tilt and such, so I don't see why a phone with such a heavy emphasis on location-based apps would have a sub-par GPS setup. Here's hoping things work well.

Exactly... But when you're without 3G, I guess you try to justify why it's not as good, and that's what he came up with. It's like everything though, people on here try to justify why the iPhone isn't as good as the Diamond/Touch Pro, truth be told it's better in many aspects but comes short in many as well.

No... it will not work out of the box.
Yes/maybe... it should work someday soon unless HTC/T-Mobile have somehow disabled that ability in hardware.
As soon as I get the phone I will be working on it on the Linux side (not an actual internet sharing app... more of a route/iptables script) and I am sure someone will work on a java solution (although a kernel solution would be faster). There was an application for the iPhone that provided internet sharing but it was banned from apple store and Google has said they won't do that so I think it should be here soon.

I have an issue with my G1 WIFI connection. If i broadcast my SSID I connect with no problems. but if i disable the broadcast it will not connect, and this is with me manually putting in the connections into the phone.
I called TMobile but they said i needed to call HTC. they didn't have a solution.
BTW, I have no WEP enabled. I just disable the SSID broadcast.
I just connected to my Linksys router with WPA2 and had 3G running, connected no problem.
Haitiankid: try entering the details of your network manually and seeing if it will connect then. Also, as for the 3G fading in and out, are you in a week signal area for 3G?
wifi working
I got my wifi to work. It was my routers fault. What I did was in went into my routers settings by typing 192.168.1.1 and entered 'admin' (no quotes) and no password. Once in my settings I changed my brocasting type from b&g mixed to all mixed changed frequency to auto, changed network key from shared to open and wifi started working. I don't know if all those steps were neccesary but it worked for me. Hope it works for some else.
As for the 3g it seems to be getting better
for those of you with the 3g/edge switching problem...
Hey, if uve got the 3g switching to edge back and forth continuously, its likely because you didnt get a new SIM card when u got the g1. It simply means you have an old SIM card that doesnt support 3g well, call tmobile up tell them your situation, theyve given most people a free new SIM card thats more compatible.

I don't think that's the case. I've had the same SIM card since 2000, no problems like this. If any SIM is too old to support 3G, I'd think one made 8 years ago would definitely be the case.
It sounds like he's in a bad coverage area, which could be lots of things. There is a coverage map on the T-Mo website, don't know if it shows 3G. Or it could be the building he's in. My phones have never worked at my grandmother's house. I get full bars on the front porch, and full bars the second I get out the back door, but no signal in the house itself. Even relatives on other networks get little to no coverage inside the house. Probably the really really old insulation and building materials are blocking the signal. At my last apartment I only had a good signal on the corner of my bed, and that disappeared when new neighbors moved in upstairs.
These are radio waves, which aren't foolproof or perfect, they encounter all kinds of interference. Nothings going to be as secure and consistant as a wired connection. Nature of the beast, unfortunately.

Careful dude, with the security set to open anyone within range (neighbors, wardrivers, etc.) can use your wifi to get on the internet. Try using WPA or WPA2 security, but leaving it all mixed and frequency at auto.

[Q] Tethering issues - Update

I have a bit of an odd issue. Tethering with WiFi Tether Router app from the stop has been working until last week. Both LTE and 3G. Then last week I had the infamous 3G issue. I did a factory reset and when that didn't work I tried a profile update (I know probably backwards). After the profile update 3G works great. However, this week when I tried to tether things went south. It connects fine to the AP, you can do a dns lookup and it succeeds, Skype connects, torrents work great, but you can't get to any websites at all. Tethering with 3G works fine other than the fact that it's slow. I have tried on stock rooted by Capt, Bad Boyz, and CM. All of them worked last week, but none of them work this week. Fabio from the tether app suggested I look at the APN settings and make sure that default,supl,mms,dun were all set up as APN types. When I took a look in there only default and hipri were set as types. The strange thing is that it seemed to work for a little bit after initially setting that up. Now its back to not working. I can telnet to port 80 on servers that I know are web sites and I get the expected results back, so I know the router is passing port 80 traffic, it just wont allow an actual website to download. I have tried to connect a surface, Windows Phone, and a Windows laptop and all get the same results so I am fairly certain it isn't on the connecting device side.
Anyone have any thoughts or has anyone seen this?
Update ---
This morning when I went in to work I decided to give it a try again because that was the last location where it worked. It appears this issue may be location specific. In downtown San Antonio none of the tethering methods work with 4G but in the far west (SeaWorld) tethering 4G works...
Man I have the same damn problem, It's almost like Sprint is blocking certain things, we know for a fact they cap LTE, which sux cuz I like sprint they have good plans

Can you throw up a link about them capping LTE?
I haven't been able to get tether to work for me and I wonder if this is one of the reasons.

[Q] WiFi Calling & Texting

I was on the phone with a T-Mobile rep yesterday in regards to the weak signal in my home. I never had issues with T-Mobile and signal strength, but it has gotten pretty bad around my home, where I usually am only able to get two bars of strength around my home, three when I am lucky.
I brought this all up w/ T-Mobile, they said there has been no service changes around my area, but the representative recommended that we use WiFi Calling in areas it is available.
I know this service is free, but I never bothered trying it, does it really work when dealing with poor signal strength? Does it impact battery life by any ways? Also, does it cause any sort of delay when calling people? And lastly, I'd imagine this includes texting via WiFi, correct?
If it is all as good as it sounds, I might go ahead with it, if not, I'll just ask T-Mobile about some sort of signal booster around my home.
Thanks!
Wifi calling can fix the poor range problem. You connect to Wifi and calls go through it instead of the GSM network. It works with texting. Just go ahead and try it. You don't have to pay any extra money for it. If you wanted a signal booster, I think you have to pay for it.
I have been using it for the past few days since posting it, and it seems just fine!
Let's say I use this option and walk out of WiFi signal, would my call automatically get disconnected? Also, does HD voice work on this?

Yes, if you walk out of range of wifi, your call will disconnect. Also, one thing to note is that it cannot be used on custom roms, however, with the release of this feature on this Nexus 6, we should see it on AOSP/CM in a few months. With google's project FI, this feature could be worked on by google and improve. As for HD voice, I'm pretty sure it works.
Actually, you CAN use Wi-Fi calling on custom ROMs, as long as the ROM developer didn't mess with it's functionality. (Granted, you most likely limited to ROMs that aren't drastically altered/customized, but at least they will be de-bloated...) I had an S4 with a custom ROM and I used Wi-Fi calling frequently--just have to check to make sure it's available.
I see people are still responding here - I have been using WiFi calling for about a couple of months now, it has been working perfectly fine. I had some random instances of dropped calls, I called T-Mobile and asked them about the issue, they told me it was related with my router, they went ahead and sent me a special router that is built for WiFi Calling (To be honest, I have no idea what the hardware capabilities on the router is, but it sure as hell beats the $20 Router I bought 5 years ago )
That being said, WiFi calling has been amazing for me, no more issues. Text messages are sent, calls are received, and everything works. It is a beauty of a function.
The only complaint I have is that sometimes if I hop in my car, drive away and am still on a call, the call will get disconnected (I now just avoid making calls while I am leaving my house). Another issue is that when I connect to any WiFi network, whether at a mall or a friends house, I sometimes do face issues as there may be some sort of hardware capabilities needed in order for the feature to work properly.
Hope that helps for people considering WiFi calling!

Is there a Remote connection via Wifi on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro LTE model?

Hello everyone. My English is so bad I get help from google translate sorry.
I am currently using watch3 lte and it is not possible to make calls over wifi because there is no Remote connection. I would like to ask those who use Watch5 lte, is there a Remote connection over wifi?
Has anyone managed to turn on wifi search on the watch3 LTE model?
I was having the same issue with galaxy watch active 2 LTE . I bought the Lte watch with plan to have a cheap data only plan to my watch in order to use the remote connection feature for dialling.But unfortunately to the LTE version of active 2 the remote connection is working only for messages and not for dialing.Is this the same for Watch 5?

It's a very ridiculous situation, I don't know if this is on watch5 or not. Watch3 is like this. In BT model, calling and all notifications, everything works, but in LTE models, if there is no mobile plan, it does not forward calls with wifi. You pay more for LTE models, but you lose a lot of things. It's a bull****. For example, I work in my basement, it does not receive mobile data, but there is wifi, in this case wifi connection should also work. This situation is ridiculous, please answer one of the watch5 lte users, is it the same situation?
Yes you can remote connect via WiFi and LTE on the Watch 5 Pro but the process is currently far from automatic.
Currently it seems you need to turn off Bluetooth on the watch and possibly even manually select the WiFi network before it will remotely connect. Once it has remotely connected it will maintain that connection via LTE if WiFi drops. It does not seem to initiate remote connection via LTE alone. None of this can be intended functionaiity, as in it should all happen seemlessly.

Thank you for your answer. Samsung released "50" watch series, but couldn't find a solution.
Is your galaxy watch 5 lte model?

Do you have a remote connection without any mobile data? So calling and notifications over wifi?
Yes.
I just tested it like this:
Switch off Bluetooth on watch.
Switch off LTE on watch.
Open dialler on watch and make call.
Watch connects to phone remotely by WiFi and makes call successfully.

Are you serious?? They fixed it. Finally got the answer I wanted. I wonder if BT open wifi doesn't work automatically?
You are amazing man. Nobody shoots videos about connection, they don't write articles. This is a great innovation, it is not like this in old generations.

I don't know.
There is only on or off for WiFi no auto connection.
The only way I have been able to get WiFi to connect remotely is to turn off Bluetooth.

Then adriod wear is like that. Tizen has an automatic mode. Today I managed to add e-sim to my watch but the operator line is separate . It neither forwards calls with LTE nor wifi. watch3 like this. If Watch5 is like you said, it will be great if it forwards calls. I will order the LTE model today, but I will ask you for something. Do you see your watch in the place I sent below? Can you send a screenshot of this place?

So in order to be clearer ,
1.for the Bluetooth version of the watch , the remote connection it works Automaticly .
That means if you loose the connection with phone , the watch automatically connects to the available saved wifi network and you can receive and make calls remotely.
2.For the LTE version of the watch. The remote connections works manually
That means that if you loose the connection with the watch , you have to manually disable the Bluetooth , and manually connect to a wifi network (although you have connect to this network in the past)
Also to android wear , there is no Auto mode on wifi , there is either always on or always off .
Am I correct ?

Yes it would seem that way although I don't think it is the intended design.

The watch is signed in to the same Samsung account as the phone and is registered both in the Members app and on the Members website.

I got it from a post on the official forum. Devices for Wi-Fi calling should appear here. Oddly enough, the connected devices don't show up for me or for you. but I don't understand how wifi calling works for you.
This is the status in the Wearable app when I switch off Bluetooth.
BTW have turned on Mobile Battery Saver in the Developer Settings and connections seem to be behaving far better.
